Determining the important criteria for an apartment in Geneva

Let’s start with the main criteria to consider when buying an apartment in Geneva

The neighborhood in the city of Geneva

Each neighborhood in the city of Geneva is made up of different amenities and features, so it’s important to find the one that matches your standards.

For example, if you’re looking for a quiet neighborhood to raise a family, you can look into apartments for sale in Champel This popular area of Geneva is known for its thriving park and quiet atmosphere, just like the Eaux-Vives area for that matter. However, if you are more interested in being in the heart of Geneva’s activities, you can look for an apartment closer to the city center.

The number of rooms and bedrooms

When buying an apartment in Geneva, the number of rooms and bedrooms is obviously one of the main criteria to take into account.

When reading an ad for an apartment for sale in Geneva, the rooms are understood to be bedrooms, but also the living space such as the dining room or the living room. The bathroom, kitchen or toilet are not counted as rooms in their own right, but as half rooms.

Thus, if you see an ad for an apartment for sale indicating 3.5 rooms, it is certainly that the apartment is composed of a reception room, 2 bedrooms and a kitchen.

The view from a terrace or balcony

When considering buying an apartment in Geneva, one of the main criteria should be the view from a terrace or balcony. If the apartment is located on a high floor, there is a good chance that it will have a great view of a park, the lake or the city.

The standing of the building

Another essential factor to consider is the standing of the building You’ll want to make sure the building is well maintained, not in need of renovation and has all the amenities you need. Conveniently, the residence provides its residents with a small, exclusive park.

The floor of the apartment in the building is also important. If you are on the fourth floor and do not have an elevator, this can be a cause for concern.

The type of apartment

In the city of Geneva, the types of apartments vary according to the neighborhood in general and the building in particular Here are 3 that you can find when reading your next ad:

• Penthouse: The penthouse apartment is located on the top floor of a building and often offers an unobstructed view (in Geneva, ideally on the lake). It is generally more spacious than the other apartments and benefits from a terrace under the sky.
• Crossing : A walk-through apartment benefits from a view on both sides of the building. It is bright, pleasant to live in, and especially very popular.
